Living in Rumelaar-Lambalgen, Woudenberg

Rumelaar-Lambalgen is a quiet, green neighbourhood on the edge of Woudenberg, with a strong rural character. The neighbourhood is nestled between open agricultural land and the built-up area of Woudenberg, providing a sense of space that you won't easily find in the more urban neighbourhoods of the municipality. The housing stock mainly consists of detached homes and semi-detached homes with spacious plots. The average WOZ value of €808,000 speaks volumes: this is not a neighbourhood for first-time buyers or starters on a limited budget.
